1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Closed-cycle aquaculture using hatchery produced seed stocks is vital to the sustainability of endangered species such as Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) because this aquaculture system does not depend on aquaculture seeds collected from the wild. High egg quality promotes efficient aquaculture production by improving hatch rates and subsequent growth and survival of hatched larvae. In this study, we investigate the possibility of a simple, low-cost, and accurate egg quality prediction system based only on photographic images using deep neural networks. We photographed individual eggs immediately after spawning and assessed their qualities, i.e., whether they hatched normally and how many days larvae survived without feeding. The proposed system predicted normally hatching eggs with higher accuracy than human experts. It was also successful in predicting which eggs would produce longer-surviving larvae. We also analyzed the image aspects that contributed to the prediction to discover important egg features. Our results suggest the applicability of deep learning techniques to efficient egg quality prediction, and analysis of early developmental stages of development.
